pardon?I don't think Capcom or Bamco will have the FP5. It stays Phoenix Wright, but I don't think he's more likely than Monster Hunter. I don't think there will be Tekken because we just had Terry. (and Tekken isn't "unexpected" nor "never seen it coming"). I don't think I don't think Xenosaga or SoulCalibur are more likely than Tales/Tekken. I don't think that Konami, Sega, Squenix, Microsoft or SNK will have a new Fighter before the end of the FP. Hayabusa isn't the 5th Fighter, and I don't think that Dynasty Warriors is more likely. Here is where it would stay IMO:
Minecraft - Resident Evil - Overwatch - Kingdom Hearts - Yo-kai Watch - Tales - Touhou Project - Tekken - Assassin's Creed - Dynasty Warriors - Digimon - Devil May Cry - Yakuza - Halo - Tamagotchi - Story of Seasons - Souls - Ace Attorney - Phantasy Star - Professor Layton - DOOM > Tomb Raider - Puyo Puyo - Disgaea - Suikoden - Guilty Gear - Ys - Dead or Alive - NieR - The Elder Scroll - Crash Bandicoot - Mystery Dungeon - SoulCalibur - Ōkami - Ninja Gaiden - Sakura Wars - Space Invaders - Rayman - Raving Rabbits - The Tower of Druaga - Bubble Bobble - No More Heroes - Katamari
So if I'm reading this right, you think a Yo-kai Watch rep (or at least, a Level-5 rep) is likely for FP5? Or am I reading this wrong?I don't think Capcom or Bamco will have the FP5.

Well, if you get the time, you can read over his Yo-kai Watch Wiki article. It helps give the basic gist of who Jibanyan is, at least.I’m a big fan of the Professor Layton games also made by Level-5 but never played yo-Kai watch games yet, so I’m curious as to what Jibanyan could do as a fighter and who he is as a character.
well his main attacks consist of punching and he can throw fire balls, his signature attack is the paws of fury, rapid punches. also he has a lot of variants to pull from, not just other cat yo-kai but other version of him with other things they can do. really he has a lot of moveset potential like a number of the major yo-kai watch charactersI’m a big fan of the Professor Layton games also made by Level-5 but never played yo-Kai watch games yet, so I’m curious as to what Jibanyan could do as a fighter and who he is as a character.
yo-kai watch was developed as a video game originally, starting off planned for the ps3 but moved to the 3ds, creation of the manga began long after thatSorry for my ignorance, but didn't Yokai-Watch started as a manga first? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I see.yo-kai watch was developed as a video game originally, starting off planned for the ps3 but moved to the 3ds, creation of the manga began long after that
yeah the series seemed to become a bit of a niche outside of japanI'd still love for Jibanyan to join. However, he doesn't seem to get much support.
Here's the article about it on the wiki. I don't know if there's been a trailer yet, though.I haven't seen that.
PSA: Please ignore all my post and topics that were created before the COVID-19 pandemic. My opinions and thoughts have had major changes since the pandemic initiated. My behavior has now improved and I will not cause anymore trouble from now on.
All my posts from before the pandemic are now all outdated.
neither yo-kai watch and digimon are far too different to be considered rivals of pokemon the only things they have in common is that theyre all about strange creatures but they are not rivalsI've changed my mind, I'm now a Jibanyan supporter, and I no longer want him to be an assist trophy. I originally wanted Jibanyan to be unplayable, because I thought including him as a playable character would promote a Pokemon rival. But then, I thought, "If Agumon (Digimon) merits to be playable we should have Jibanyan too!" So thus, I now want Jibanyan to be playable.
As a reminder:
I just mentioned that too. Jibanyan has still maintained his fame to this day. Same goes with Agumon (Digimon).I think people have forgotten about poor Jibanyan, He deserves support!
Both Yokai Watch and Digimon are Pokemon clones. Unfortunately, Agumon and Jibanyan are the only two pokemon clone primary reps that I know who certainly merit to be playable in Smash. On the other hand, Suezo (Monster Rancher), Metabee (Medabots), and Dragonoid (Bakugan) may be far to obscure nowadays, and thus would be better off as assist trophies, mii costumes, or spirits.neither yo-kai watch and digimon are far too different to be considered rivals of pokemon the only things they have in common is that theyre all about strange creatures but they are not rivals
no they are not. digimon was made as a tomogatchi for boys that evolved into a multi media franchise. yo-watch was made when level-5 wanted to make another multi media franchise like layton and iizumi 11 and they turned to local myth and folklore. to call either a pokemon clone is wrong and would be based on a completely misunderstanding of both franchises and is some what insulting to the intentions of the makers of the series.Both Yokai Watch and Digimon are Pokemon clones.

While I support Jibanyan, I think it would be more accurate to call videogames like Pokemon, Digimon, Yokai Watch, etc. something along the lines of "battle pet" or "monster collecting and battling". It has been an established genre since the early-mid 2000s.no they are not. digimon was made as a tomogatchi for boys that evolved into a multi media franchise. yo-watch was made when level-5 wanted to make another multi media franchise like layton and iizumi 11 and they turned to local myth and folklore. to call either a pokemon clone is wrong and would be based on a completely misunderstanding of both franchises and is some what insulting to the intentions of the makers of the series.
The only people who unironically believe that Digimon and Yokai Watch are clones of Pokemon are those who have never interacted with either series in any meaningful way beyond just knowing they exist. Even the most basic surface-level analysis of the series will show quite a few differences between them, and those differences only get bigger and more pronounced the deeper you dig. It really isn't an exaggeration to claim that the only similarity they have in common is the whole 'collecting monsters and training them to battle other monsters' thing, which had been done by SMT and Dragon Quest years before Pokemon was even a thing.I just mentioned that too.

I would say that Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest invented the "Collecting and battling with monsters" genre, but Pokemon codified it. It later mutated/evolved into a genre much later.The only people who unironically believe that Digimon and Yokai Watch are clones of Pokemon are those who have never interacted with either series in any meaningful way beyond just knowing they exist.

but it still doesnt make either digimon or yo-kai watch pokemon clones. they are their own thing as much as pokemon is its own thingI would say that Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest invented the "Collecting and battling with monsters" genre, but Pokemon codified it.

Exactly. Let's just take a look at how the monsters are treated in each series to get an idea of how they each approach the concept differently.but it still doesnt make either digimon or yo-kai watch pokemon clones. they are their own thing as much as pokemon is its own thing
I absolutely agree! Not to mention videogames like Digimon, Yokai Watch, Beyblade, Yugioh, and even obscure ones like Bakugan, Medabots, Monster Rancher, etc. aren't Pokemon clones. They now are part of the "Monster collecting" genre . So thus, it is now an established genre, and not a clone thing anymore.but it still doesnt make either digimon or yo-kai watch pokemon clones. they are their own thing as much as pokemon is its own thing
then why did you call them clones in the first place?I absolutely agree!

The game was announced in 2011 first in the TGS, and then the manga came as second in 2013. The manga was meant to promote the game. And the game has been announced first in 2011.I want some clarification, I know the Yokai Watch mangas were made first but was the manga made to promote the games?
the layton thread is kind of the unofficial level-5 generalIt's been awhile since anyone talked in this thread.
